Image Analysis
This light in this image is the natural lighting coming from the sun, I took this image during golden hour which has given the sky lots of different colours. I took this image using a shutter speed 1/250 as I wanted the crashing waves to be sharp and in focus. An ISO of 200 and an aperture of f/22, these settings made the image have lot of light.There isn’t a large amount of texture in this image as I have edited out rocks that would have given texture as I wanted the image to have a crisp look to it. The colours in this image are very brought and vibrant due to the way that I have edited them to look like this, I wanted the piece to have a very bright and light feel to it, to add emphasis on colours in the sky being created by the sunset. There isn’t a large tonal range in this image as the image is bright.I took his image down at St Brelades Bay at low tide during ‘Golden Hour’ .This is my favourite image from the shoot, what I like the most about this image id the colour palette and the reflected section of the image lines up with the rest of the image.My concept behind this image and the shoot as a whole was to take a different perspective when looking at landscape images and to make them more interesting and appealing.
Final Presentation Of Images
My final piece is a combination of 4 images from the Alternate Landscapes project. I stuck the images onto a white foam board and then stuck them onto a large white piece of card, By having the images backed onto white foam and then white card it helps to bring out the colour in the images and highlights the brightness in them. One way that I feel that I could have improved the overall presentation of this image, as if I had thought ahead about how I wanted the images to look as I would have printed out one more image from my selection at A4 size, I would have placed it at the top to balance out the position of the images.I think that these four images are the most effective as they all have a clear linking theme between them.
Overall I feel that this project went very well and is the best project that I have done so far. I really liked exploring different techniques in relation to geometric and the way the two come together. Using Tyhe Reading as my inspiration for this project I feel that I have created images that have the same theme but are also successful in their own way. What I want to improve for next time would take a wider range of images at different locations and different times during the day as this effects the lighting and the overall look of the images.Overall I feel that these images work well together to show the themes of Geometric Landscapes although some of the images could have been further edited the simplicity of some of them still creates the same overall effect.
Technical - Won's pieces are assembled from dozens of cut-up black and white photographs in a process of deconstruction and reconstruction which ultimately creates new monuments from the buildings of London in his own digital sculptures made through the art of photography. The pieces may take hours to construct with digitally combining all the pieces in his puzzles in comparison to one quick snapshot taken in a spontaneous moment, with each part of his pieces cut up and placed to look like they actually exist in the world.
Visual - His work is constantly inspired through the city of London, with many of his pieces featuring famous monuments and buildings taken from our everyday landscape - the car park and escalators weaved into this image holds a sense of reality in a surreal landscape. His pieces defy laws of statics making them more surreal and monumental/sculptural. From architectural photographs and collages he creates urban mirages set in familiar landscapes which is perhaps is the only thing that connects the audience to the monuments.
Conceptual - His made-up monuments are glorified with the combined everyday constructions and artistically generated sculptures that tower above their landscapes which creates an idea of powerful inhuman forces. His work questions the understanding of contemporary photography and human perception.
Photoshoot - I planned to exlpore around La collette and any other industrial or constructional places in town [the gas tower] and churches as they have many towers and turrets with intricate designs. This was to collect enough images of buildings to finally create a digital sculpture based on Beomsik Won's work.
